More Things to Worry About on Tuesday
A fist fight in the Iranian parliament, but it's about, er, a bogus credential on a resumé. Washington Post
A prank contest in New Zealand ("Shepherd's Shermuzzle," no relation) is kinda stupid, but lookee-there at what's on that table! Manawatu Standard
Fine Points of the Law: When a cop says to a perp, Hey, What's up?, that has Constitutional implications. (Does it mean that "interrogation" has begun? If so, the cop should have Mirandized him.) Maryland Daily Record
And another Fine Point: Should there be a Constitutional right to DNA testing for a criminal suspect, so that the poor, railroaded guy can demonstrate his innocence? (Bonus: This test case involves a guy so railroaded . . that he had confessed . . and that his lawyer rejected DNA testing at his trial because she thought he was guilty . . and that he's already been released from prison and re-arrested on 17 new felonies.) Washington Post
In Mumbai, a couple finally settled their divorce issues following an arranged marriage that had immediately gone south when the husband discovered that the little lady has facial boils. The Times of India
And from last week, Paris Hilton mused on Einstein's theory of relativity. Well, that is, she had signed up earlier for Virgin Galactic's first-ever commercial space flight but has now begun to worry whether the voyage will inadvertently transport her into the future, which'll be bad because she doesn't know anyone there.

I guess you have to be pretty secure in your masculinity to participate in the shermuzzle.
Yes, boils are clearly grounds for divorce. Whoever thought an arranged marriage could go wrong like that?
Paris Hilton is worried about arriving in the future because she doesn't know anyone there? My brain is beginning to implode... is she really that dense? I mean, is it an act, or is she really that stupid?

Shermuzzle - Nothing to it, folks! I have consumed bull's and sheep's testicles in various dishes. My cultural background dictates that one eats everything one can from any animal or vegetable one kills or cultivates.
Paris Hilton - She cannot be that stupid! I absolutely cannot understand why it is that most people (the majority of those people being male) cannot grasp the idea that Paris Hilton has made a career out of playing the "dumb" rich girl. I am certain if she had said, "oh, it will be a fun flight," no one would have printed the story. Instead, she made some lame statement that was sure to get her print time, not to mention chat time such as the comments made here!

Please send her far far far away! I get irritated just thinking about that dumb bitch.

Jules, every time I get irritated thinking about Paris, I remember the look on her face when she was arrested. It makes me smile, every time.
